“The argument about “unused” leases is a red herring, a smokescreen for energy policies that have had a hamstringing effect on the world’s leading producer of natural gas and oil.

American oil and gas producers are able and willing to do their part to support American energy leadership, including providing energy that can help allies abroad.” — Kevin O’Scannlain, API
